VIGIL FOR FALLEN OFFICERS
“Tonight’s event is to
commemorate the starting of
National Police Week,” Holt
said. “Tonight, in Washington,
D.C., they have a candlelight
vigil, and in Seaside, with the
recent loss of Jason Goodding
and other officers, we’ll be do-
ing a roll call of officers who
have made the ultimate sacri-
fice.”
In Clatsop County, six law

Officials cool to retailer’s land plea
City seeks more
information

An unnamed tenant wants
to build a two-store retail de-
velopment in Seaside near
Avenue O and U.S. Highway
101.
Representative Dan Do-
ver of Texas-based Main &
Main Capital Group LLC,
went before the City Council
on May 14 seeking the “city’s
pulse” for the granting of a
street vacation for property
along U.S. Highway 101 in
Seaside. A street vacation is
a type of easement in which
a government transfers the
right-of-way of a public road
to a private property owner.
Dover said he had a pre-
liminary commitment from
the tenant, but they were
hesitant to move forward
until the property was deter-
mined to be “permittable” at
the city level.
The property is located
between Avenue N and Av-
enue O. South Irvine Place
runs north and south adja-
cent to the proposed site.
The tenant seeks the va-
cation for the flexibility of
parking and layout, Dover
said, as existing city streets
located within the site made
it hard to develop. “What
would the council’s thresh-
old be in obtaining written
sign-off?” he asked.
Dover did not name the
tenant, but said the business
was “retail — grocery in na-
ture.” “I do a lot of hearings
and I’m hesitant to offer a lot
of information and it could
be used in a negative way.”
Dover told city council-
ors “an immediate need for
action” was required. “If the
council is favorable to this,
we would proceed,” he said.
City Attorney Dan Van
Thiel advised a written sub-
mission from the retailer be-
fore any council action. “You
have to envision what you’re
asked when you vacate
streets,” Van Thiel said to
members of the City Coun-
cil. “Is it in any way possible
this community would have
the necessity to ever utilize
those streets? Because once
they’re vacated, they’re
gone.”

The first bid package for
the new Seaside Middle and
High School site and utilities
— storm, sanitary and water
— was awarded to Coffman
Excavation of Clackamas,
according to project construc-
tion manager Cary Bubenik.
Coffman’s base bid of $17.4
million represents about 20
percent of the total construction
cost, senior project manager
Jim Henry said at the Tuesday,
May 15, meeting of the Sea-
side School District’s board of
directors. “That’s a great mile-
stone and gives us a clear sense
of where we’re going and we’re
on the right path.”
Coffman’s contract amount
will be finalized over the next
month as the design is com-
pleted. “We are also working

Angelina’s pizzeria unveils oven, restaurant down the road
Expanding the
repertoire
By R.J. Marx
Seaside Signal
Some people go restaurant-hunt-
ing on Yelp! or the newspaper’s din-
ing guide.
Others find their restaurants on
Craigslist. For Beth Hall, that’s how
she became the owner of Angelina’s
in Seaside seven years ago.
Hall, who has owned Angelina’s
for seven of the restaurant’s 10 years,
is moving down the road to 1815 S.
Roosevelt Drive.
“When I took it over, we were do-
ing about $300 a day,” the Cannon
Beach resident said. “Now we’re do-
ing $3,000 on weekend days.”
She attributes the success to the
vision of the original owners. “It’s a
great concept.”
Angelina was the middle name of
Krista Miller, who started Angelina’s
with her husband Adrian.
“So the sauce, the dough, the reci-
pes come from them,” Hall said.
Hall attributes the restaurant’s
growing popularity to fresh ingredi-
ents. “We make the sauce fresh every
day. We make the dough fresh every-
day. We use the best ingredients we
can find and we’re really generous.”
A former Cincinnati, Ohio, resident,
Hall worked for the family restaurant
Bob Evans for 25 years. “No pizza,”
she said. “But lots of restaurant expe-
rience.”
She found Angelina’s in Seaside for
sale on Craigslist and it turned out “bet-
ter than I could ever hope. The food is
great, the way we take care of the cus-
tomers, hopefully, and keeping a posi-
tive, happy atmosphere every day.”
Angelina’s has three cars for de-
livery and 19
employees, but
Hall said she still
needs about 20
more at all posi-
tions to staff the
5,000-square-
feet, 108-seat
R.J. MARX
restaurant.
She intends Beth Hall and her
to serve beer son, Mike Laven-
and wine and good, are ready

iolis featuring S. Roosevelt Dr.
Dungeness crab,
roasted vegetables and braised beef.
The menu adds fries and wings are
added for the kids, replete with Hall’s
own homemade wing sauce.
The new pizza oven “is probably
the finest pizza oven you can buy.”
The move is scheduled for June 4.
